Boulder today announced that the Spruce Pool will open for the season Monday, but the recent wet weather will delay the opening of the city's other outdoor pool -- the Scott Carpenter Pool -- beyond Memorial Day.

The Spruce Pool, located at 2102 Spruce St., will open with a limited schedule Monday before it begins operating a normal schedule beginning May 28. The summer season runs through Sept. 2.

The Scott Carpenter Pool, at 1505 30th St., opened May 25 last year, but snow and rain delayed a painting project at the pool and thus pushed the opening past May 27. The city has not announced a specific date when the pool will open for the season.
